New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[pablo 1878]

That Lucas Oil stadium looks very similar to some of the concept designs floating about when Chelsea were trying to buy Battersea Power Station and convert it into a new Stadium.

Yeah, very industrial looking. Like I say, not to my taste in football stadiums but each to their own

So boring though. Utterly identikit. We need a stadium like the Allianz (or the Bordeaux one) which is instantly identifiable.

I think the idea is they will probably have to build, the stadium, a megastore and bars etc, almost like an Everton FC village area.

I like the scale and bulk of the Lucas Oil Stadium but that's about it. It just doesn't do it for me as a football stadium. I'd much prefer something futuristic and modern on the banks of the Mersey.

That's not to be confused with "being spoilt" or "turning the Lucas Oil Stadium down" as some are saying. It's just my personal preference and at the end of the day we will get what we're given.

Let's be honest, who would have thought this would have been even the slimmest of possibilities a year or so ago. It's not built yet but it certainly looks like it going to happen.

Yes I agree, I'll be disappointed if it was like Lucas Oil one. It seems more like an sports arena than an English intimidating football ground.

It needs to be the premier multi-event venue of the North West alongside the Etihad. I think we'll have to compromise a bit on it being an old-school bearpit.

I'd love to see more images of that.

Quite like the look of that artist impression.
Are there more of the same but from different angles, aerial view etc ?

Im sorry but I still have difficulties to believe that we can have Dock Site for our stadium. It would be too good to be true, maybe thats why im so careful on this matter.

I'd personally rather not compromise. I would rather make it the best footy ground in the world. It's not up to me though.

I'm trying to think what other requirements the stadium would need to make it multi functional but would cause a compromise? What can you think of?

That great big swimming pool in the middle wouldn't help like.........

Broad concourses, restaurants/bars/clubs, softer aesthetics from your average football ground. Fully enclosed inside for optimal acoustics.

Not huge sacrifices to make.

Just play the long ball game!

First reaction seeing the lucas oil stadium was "ugh", but the more I've looked at it since the more I can see it blending in with the docks - although personally I would prefer our stadium to stand out - not blend in.

Whatever design we use it needs to be iconic and as other posters have mentioned, be immediately recognizable throughout the world. Exciting times though.

Wider concourses shouldn't affect the inside of the stadium so I wouldn't say that was a compromise.
I was thinking of restaurants and functions as well that would be combined with the executive boxes so you could overlook the stadium I'd imagine. I'd prefer to keep them to the sides rather than around the whole stadium. Saying that I don't think the Lucas Oil stadium has corporates around the whole stadium.
